Here are the college games we’re watching. Way too soon to be picking bowls but USC and Georgia play big games that will help legitimize their hopes.
USC (#1) -25 at Oregon State
When the point spread is more than three touchdowns, there’s always hope for those who pick against the spread, but USC is on a roll. They’ll take care of business and how.
Maryland at Clemson (#20) -11.5
Proving that this writer is a homer, pick Maryland to win outright. Their defense will surprise the Clemson offense.
Fresno State (#25) -7 at UCLA
This is the weekend we see if UCLA coach, Rick Neuheisel’s bravado is on target. Fresno State is not going to sneak up on anyone anymore. UCLA is playing at home. Give this one to UCLA.
North Carolina at Miami - -7.5
North Carolina is improving, but to go to Miami and win is too much to ask. Stick with Miami.
Navy at Wake Forest (#16) -15.5
Go Middies. Anchors away! Still put your money on Wake Forest.
Alabama (#8) at Georgia (#3) -7
Wow, two SEC teams in the top ten matching up. Catch the hype, whoopee, the Bulldogs are wearing their black jerseys and the coach is making a big deal about it. So what! Play the game. This should be the fun game of this weekend. Our heart pulls for ‘Bama to pull the upset, but Georgia is a legitimate, very legitimate National Champion contender. It’s Georgia!
Illinois (#22) at Penn State (#12) -14.5
Every time Penn State takes the field, fans get to watch football history in the making as Coach Joe Paterno gets his guys ready for yet another year. To think many wrote him off as too old how long ago? Penn State is a solid top 25 team who could sneak into the top ten after a few other teams fall. Winning against another ranked team like Illinois is a must. Go Pops. Those are boring uniforms your boys wear, but they will win.
